KISTA, Sweden, Apr 21, 2026 – Sivers Semiconductors and Jabil are collaborating to develop a 1.6T linear receive optical (LRO) transceiver module. Jabil plans to build the pluggable module using Sivers’ Distributed Feedback (DFB) lasers. The design targets energy-efficient optical interconnect speeds for next-generation hyperscale AI data centers.
According to a LightCounting (Optics for AI clusters, Jan 2025) report, 800G and higher-speed optical transceivers are expected to account for 80% of the pluggable modules market by 2030, with global shipments reaching 225M units.
“Energy efficiency is now a hard requirement in AI infrastructure scaling,” said Alex McCann, managing director for Sivers’ photonics business. “Jabil is an industry leader, and we are excited to supply our high-performance lasers for their ultra-low power 1.6T LRO optical transceivers for AI data centers.”
“Our customers are pushing for more bandwidth without increasing power consumption,” said Jason Wildt, vice president and general manager of Photonics at Jabil . “Working with Sivers will allow us to deliver a 1.6T LRO solution that meets both data center performance and power targets at scale.”
